Bored at the office? Sitting at home with nothing to do? Thankfully, Google has you covered with one of their hidden gems.
You can Image Search “Atari Breakout” and play the game for hours and hours and hours. Not that I did that when I found out. Nope, I totally haven’t been distracted all morning playing games.
For easier access, just click here and enjoy some good old-fashioned gaming.
Just in time for Summer BBQ season and outdoor shenanigans, Caleb Kraft from Hackaday is here to show you how to make your very own giant, fire-breathing piranha plant from Super Mario Bros.
You can find out exactly how to make one of these bad boys here. Just remember…the piranha plant is not an indoor plant.
Everyone just absolutely loved Ryan Gosling and director Nicolas Winding Refn’s 2011 film Drive. You know what they would also love?
A SEGA and NES game for the movie. Seriously, it looks awesome. Above is the SEGA version and below is a pretty poor quality NES version of what the games might look like. The Nintendo one is great, however, because we actually get to see the driver and he is adorable.
Alright, this one might make you a little bit dizzy, so fair warning if you get motion sickness easily to just look away. But this awesome optical illusion makes it feel like you’re looking at the underwater city of Rapture from Bioshock like it’s actually underwater!
First, stare at the center of the spiral from 30-60 seconds. Then, stare at the image. WHOA, AMIRITE.
There comes a point in every artist’s life where they see something so amazing, so unreal, that they question what the hell it is that they’re doing with their own life. Watching the trailer for Ballpoint Universe is one of those times for me.
This amazing sidescrolling shooter was drawn entirely using ballpoint pens. If you want to see it in action, check out the demo here and vote for it on Steam Greenlight here.
I have absolutely no words for how fantastic this is.
If any of you have made it to the end of Bioshock Infinite, then you probably know that it’s a bit of a mindfuck and is also pretty awesome. Which is why Rae Johnston, the lifestyle editor at TechWriter, decided that her ultimate revenge for someone questioning her credentials as a female gamer would be one full of spoilers.
That is how you ruin something for someone while simultaneously shaming them. Well-played, Rae.
A genius somewhere named Criken has created a brilliant texture mod for The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask that replaces all the characters faces (and some non-characters) with the face of Nicolas Cage.
It’s not available for download, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy this creepy, yet hilarious, video of what it will look like.
